ABOUT A.D.
I create authentic one-of-a-kind original fine art nude/figurative artworks on hand-grinded metal and specially prepared canvas. Most are painted life-size and larger (and often twice life-size), and feature a contemporary approach to the time-honored figurative and art nude genre. My imagery busts out of traditional art forms leaving viewers appreciating their sensual nature, beauty and detail. My metal art has been compared to sculpture and holographic mediums - there's a dimensionality and motion visible in every artwork.
I've been painting abstracts most my adult life, and on metal since 2006. Like my figurative artworks on metal, my abstracts have a continual illusion of changing with the light. My Orb and Alchemy Series have orbs scribed into the grinded metal creating holographic effects. I create this illusion with a metal scribe - one stroke a time. Many of my abstract artworks are mixed-media, combining color-shifting pigments, metal flakes and gold leaf. For me, they are a wonderful catharsis to paint.
All my metal paintings change appearance with the changing light. A painting viewed by morning sunrise looks entirely different at evening. Walk past them and they dance... like wall jewels. They take on a life of their own.
Whether creating figurative or abstract artworks, each is truly unique, not only in their painting process, but also in their preparation. I specially prepare my metal and canvas surfaces specifically for each intended artwork. Every painting goes through several steps throughout its creation process. Then, using a wide variety of mediums, each artwork is crafted by me, from beginning to end, to produce an original artwork like no other.
The very nature of my artwork provides long lasting beauty and enjoyment. I hope they bring you great pleasure, as they do for me.
